Not quite a Premier League preview 2017-18

Unfortunately I don't have the time to get a proper Premier League preview piece written in the traditional way today. I'm off to the game tonight so tempus fugit and all that. Instead of a proper preview I've listed below where I roughly think everyone might finish this season:

1. Manchester City - after all that money anything else would be a failure

2. Arsenal - I live in hope...

3. Manchester United - need Lukaku to miss fewer sitters

4. Chelsea - Conte won't be there in May unless something changes, but Costa might be

5. Scouse "This is our year" XI - Klopp to go at end of season

6. Everton - big money spent

7. London "This is our year" XI - things are not good in the Wembley Wanderers camp

8. West Ham - must be better than last season at home

9. Southampton - I keep backing them to go down so a different one this year

10. Newcastle - under Benitez I'd be shocked if they went down again

11. Watford - safe again

12. Leicester - might also see a new manager again

13. Burnley - if they can do as well at home again, need to pick up away points this year

14. West Brom - Pulis just signed a new contract so expert a sleepy time watching them

15. Crystal Palace - a battle but safe, could do with a couple of signings to stay up

16. Bournemouth - might need to survive by the skin of their teeth

17. Swansea City - could easily swap places with any of the bottom three

18. Stoke Rugby Football Club - bye bye, not missed

19. Brighton - can't see them staying up

20. Huddersfield Town - would be a welcome miracle for Herbert's old boys to stay up
